This has gone way past anything I could have imagined. Anything who I could have imagined could have imagined. Anything….well you know. Trump went to Philadelphia yesterday to sell $399 gold sneakers. From the podium at sneaker.con. And they sold out in a couple of hours. The almost certain Republican presidential candidate, who is leading or even in the polls, is hawking sneakers at what is essentially a street fair. And these MAGA shoes are made in Portugal!!
I feel like the writer have locked themselves in their writers’ room. They’ve been getting stone or days. At this point they are coming up with cannabis fueled ideas.
“Wouldn’t it be great man, if like the presidential candidate went to Philadelphia and…..wait for it man...he sell these crazy gold sneakers to pay off his sexual assault debt.”
“Wait, wait, I got it, we put an American flag on one side and a big T on the other, and he’s screaming buy my sneakers man.”
“Maybe that’s going too far.”
“No, no, and these MAGA guys who can’t put bread on the table they fork over the money and they sell out in a couple of hours.”
“Make America Great man, the sneakers are like from the border or something.”
“No man, they are made in Portugal.”
“Priceless, and the guys buying them don’t even know where Portugal is. They like think it’s in Idaho or something.”
Long paus.
“Maybe the plot is getting away from us.”
“Let’s order a pizza and think about what’s next.”
We need to break down the writers’ room door and do an intervention with these guys. We need new reality based writers.
